Ian Punnett is the Saturday evening host of Coast To Coast AM.
Ian Punnett graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and was a former student editor of the Daily Illini. After college, under the pseudonym "Ian Case" (his first and middle names transposed), co-hosted rock morning radio shows on WXLP in the Quad Cities as "Ian Case and the Coach" and then as "Ian Case and The Duke" with Mike "The Duke" Donegan on then-rock music station WKDF in Nashville, Tennessee in the early-to-mid-1990s. He left to do talk radio for WGN in Chicago in 1994 then Atlanta, Georgia in 1997 to host a nightly talk show on WGST under his real name, Ian Punnett. He returned to the WKDF morning show in 1998, though he remained in Atlanta and broadcast the show from a studio in his home after doing his show on WGST (his co-host, Mike "Duke" Donegan, broadcast from the station's Nashville studio). Punnett would occasionally slip up and announce his real name instead of the pseudonym, which inadvertently became a running gag. That show's run came to an end in early 1999, shortly before WKDF switched to a country music format.
In Minneapolis-St. Paul, Punnett hosts the morning show (5-9 a.m.) on WFMP-FM . The show is known as A Balanced Breakfast with Ian and Margery, and is co-hosted by his wife, Margery C. Punnett who does her part of the show from a studio in their home while getting their two teenage boys off to school. Punnett has Masters of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, and is in the ordination process in The Episcopal Church. His wife. Margery C. Punnett, is a former TV producer who has worked for CNN as well as Oprah.
